Default My 54 Restomod at Barrett Jackson

Car made it to auction in good shape. This place is way busier than the Vegas auction. I'll keep posting updates.

Beautiful car.
Tell us about your chassis, suspension, powertrain etc.
C4 suspension? Front transverse spring or QA4 coil type?
Thanks

There is another build thread on forum. Not sure how to put link to it. Maybe another member can do it. I'm a little busy maintaining 4 cars at auction.

People couldn't see how nice underneath is with just mirrors under it so I bought some race ramps and the Barrett Jackson guys hooked me up with a jack to get it up in the air.

Default Be there Tuesday

Bruce,
I will be at BJ tomorrow evening. I plan to check out your handiwork and, hopefully, meet you in person. Is there a time you will likely be hanging out at the car Tuesday night?

Yep no reserve. I'm trusting it will get recognized for how nice it is and bring appropriate money.
